Discover® Sponsors First-Ever Zynga FarmVille Game Expansion

Discover® today announced it has partnered with the world’s leading social game developer, Zynga, to help launch the first-ever brand-sponsored FarmVille expansion, Winter Wonderland. The new, customizable holiday farm is the third expansion to be released by the popular social games developer following English Countryside and Lighthouse Cove.

Starting tonight, FarmVilleplayers can get an early start on a quest to help a friendly orange Yeti use his Discover card to do his holiday shopping. Beginning tomorrow, players can get an exclusive three-day sneak peek of the new Winter Wonderland holiday destination by visiting Discover’s farm within the game. Once in FarmVille, players can click on the Discover icon located in their neighbor bar to get an exclusive sneak peek of Winter Wonderland, before it is widely available to all players.

Additionally, when Winter Wonderland becomes available to the public on December 5, players will be rewarded with a free virtual gift from Discover just for visiting Zynga’s latest creation. Through December 14, FarmVilleplayers can earn up to three Discover-branded farm items for completing different tasks along their Winter Wonderland journey. By becoming a fan of Discover on Facebook, players will get up-to-the-minute details on how to unlock these items along with access to exclusive tips to help them complete the Discover holiday shopping quest.

“Social games bring people together into virtual communities. They’re captivating increasingly larger online audiences that include many of our Discover cardmembers,” said Mike Boush, vice president of e-business at Discover. “Partnering with Zynga to develop a unique in-game experience helps us connect and engage with players and put more fun in time spent online.”

“This is the first time a brand has helped bring an expansion to our players,” said Ryan Linton, senior director of business development at Zynga. “Discover is bringing our players what they love, and they’re giving them a sneak peek of Winter Wonderland to boot. We love that they’re partnering with us to help bring a little extra holiday cheer.”
